Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

Makes 30 cookies

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp cardamom

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp allspice

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup butter, at room temperature

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

2 egg yolks

2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment.

In a medium bowl, whisk flour with baking soda, spices and salt.

In the bowl of a standmixer, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg yolks and vanilla extract. Slowly add in flour mixture – the dough may seem dry at first but keep mixing at a low speed and it will incorporate.

Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.

Bake in the centre of the oven for 12-15 minutes, allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
